Team Jack

After the ultrasound 2 weeks ago we bought a little pumpkin to dram a Jack O'Lantern face on for the reveal. Here are Jack's Godparents and us at the reveal. We all had guessed Boy. (LOVE the blue "gummy" bear shirts!!!)

Today this was Jack's profile...He is measuring over a week ahead 24 weeks even and 1 lb 6oz ALREADY lol. Big boy!!

I cried for the first time in a while at an ultrasound today when I saw this sweet button nose.

I don't think this really has hot home yet that we are going to have a baby.

HIIIIII MOMMMMYYYY!!!!

Boy shot....it is definately a boy lol.

We are having a ....

BOY!!!

Jack Andrew
I am so happy and excited! Our ultrasound appointment went well. It took an hour and a half though to get the money shot. I had to flip flop all over the table to get that picture and there was a little bulge!!! ( my husband says it is an average size bulge hahaha)

We had our Gender reveal party which was super cute and fun. I appreciate feeling the excitement and love and support from all our family and friends. Jason and I could really have been this completely exstatic either way but it is a different feeling to have a baby of the opposite sex. I am woried about all the boy stuff I know nothing about. Jason thinks I am ridiculous for worrying and asking so much about things like puberty and hormones and boy thoughts and worries and relationships and his sex talks. He says we have plenty of time but I would just feel so much more comfortable if I was well prepared.

In other news... I quit my job and am starting a daycare next week I start with my first 2 kiddos and as soon as my liscence comes in I will be taking more. I am very excited about this change as it means I will be home with Jack and have dinner on the table for my husband every night. And my pups will have people around all week :) All good things to come.

Jack is a mad man in the womb. He moves all the time. I love it!!!! When he rests for a few hours it drives me crazy... I still have all the IF and loss fears and worries.


The next post will be all photos of the little man and party. I just wanted to type up a quick update for all my followers...thanks for sticking with me through the dry spell :)

The big reveal

So it is officially less than a week from my anatomy scan and a week exactly until our gender reveal party.

I AM SO EXCITED to see what we are cooking in there.

I switched hospitals last week. I am now going with a midwife and thinking about a water birth or atleast labor in the tub. The hospital is amazing but the midwife is spectacular. They have a rocking chair in the room for you to sit in while you and your midwife talk every appointment. It is so nice. She asked me what my vision for my babys journey into the world is? I have never had a dr ask me what I wanted before. I am in love with her.

She got me in next week for my 20 wk aptmt and Friday the 9th for my anatomy scan!!! YAY
we are still planning on not finding out at the aptmt but we will see what happens neither one of us want to turn our heads for even a second.

I don't know if i am crazy or still in disbelief that 2 babies are now only one but I feel upper left movement and lower right movement and i swear on the Doppler i get two different heartbeats.
I did the needle on a string gender test yesterday and I SWEAR it did nothing in the middle of my belly but on the right it did back and forth (boy) and on the right circles (girl) I think that is so so weird!!!!

I even recorded it on my phone.

I will post a 20 week picture this upcoming week!!!

18 week update

I am 18 weeks 4 days pregnant and in awe. I am loving every exauhsting and elating moment. I was in my best friend's wedding as the Maid of honor last weekend and it was amazing. The look on her husbands face as he saw her coming down the aisle for the first time looking like a supermodel angel was priceless. I will never forget the emotion of that day.

They are going to have a wonderful happy life together, and will be the best godparents to this baby I am carrying that we could ever ask for :)

I hope they are enjoying their honeymoon despite the cancelled cruise to the bahamas because of that Bitch Irene.

CONGRATS NEWLYWED EATONS!!!

We are planning a gender reveal party for September 17th at my house. I am thinking I want it to be a brunch type thing now so we can go buy something for boy or girl in the afternoon. And my hubby got the 18th off so we can REGISTER!!! This is so exciting. The UNexciting part is that our anatomy scan is on the 12th and we have to wait all week for that envelope to be opened and tell us who we are expecting...Jack or Carly???

Here is the 18 week pic.

Im a loser of a blogger

I am so sorry. I have not been posting like a good blogger should. Pregnancy has taken over my brain and my life. I love every second of it to pieces but I cant find time for online things right now.
Also the other half of my brain and life is consumed gleefully by my best friends wedding. It is only 7 days away now and I CAN"T WAIT. It is going to be so fabulous. She has DIYed everything. Her living room is wedding central. I know she is so ready for the day to be here. I have started trying to write my speech. But what can you say when someone has been such a huge part of your life and this is one of the biggest days in theirs. I cry when i say the word speech never mind actually writing one or READING one. OMG I am praying for dry eye syndrome the day of.
Nate is such a wonderful man. I am so completely happy for her and for him, he got the best girl he could have.

Off to spend the last weekend before the wedding with the Bride doing all the last minute things. I will leave you with my 16 week belly shot..Perfectly tells you how I am feeling this week EXAUHSTED (sitting in the recliner)

15 weeks

I cannot believe it when another weeks goes by and i am still pregnant. I am in love with the acrobat inside.

Still nauseous but it is more like every third day now. My aversions are the things I had to have every day when I wasnt pregnant. I used to have dessert every night mostly icecream. Now i look forward to a meal and truly only eat dessert when I am attending a bday party.

I have been trying to eat all organic fruits and veggies.

I am feeling a flutter here and there.

I have an appointment next week!!!!

And we are planning a gender reveal party for September 17th. SO excited to find out the sex.

Car Accident

This morning on my ride to work I rearended someone who stopped on a dime so they wouldnt rear end another person who turned without a blinker.

It was terrible. I tightened up slammed on the breaks and hit her. I was crying and freaking out. I am 15 weeks pregnant with a miracle IVF baby and something so stupid can happen in a second and take it all away from us. The seatbelt tightened around my lower abdomen and by the time the cops arrived (an hour after i called) I was very crampy and starting to get super nervous. The other woman was okay. She was a sister of some sort and prayed with me for the baby as we were leaving to go to the hospital. I am convinced now that something worse would have happen had I continued my route to work today...instead God sent a religious woman for me to rearend and pray for me before I got checked out to be okay.

We got to the ER and nobody was there we got right in. I lost another pound. Still have been pretty sick so... makes sense. All my vitals were good strong heartbeat for the baby. And then they did an ultrasound....UNBELIEVABLE. The baby was kicking and punching and flipping... It was priceless, Jason screamed HOLY SHIT did you see that!!! he kept commenting on the profile of our small baby. nose mouth eyes sucking thumb taking gulps of fluid. rolling around so we could see the spine, the feet, the long legs and arms all five fingers. I was in awe and so glad baby was okay. I was so worried I might see a picture of a baby with no movements and heartbeat. I am so blessed. A true reminder how precious everyday of this pregnancy is.

thank you God.
